Campfire ban rescinded

The ban on campfires has been lifted in most Central Okanagan areas. Campfires are not permitted at any time within the City of Kelowna.

The ban on campfires within local fire jurisdictions in the Central Okanagan has been in place since July 26th. Forecast showers and cooler temperatures are reducing the potential fire threat.
